The day honors those courageous LGBT culture workers combating homophobia and intolerance over the ages, every day today and in the future.

It also marks the 1914 birthday of Swedish-Finnish writer/artist Tove Jansson -- creator of Mumintroll and his colleagues -- and honors her 40-year long relationship with her woman, art/historian Tuulikki Pietiläa. Tove was a proud member and award winner of Tupilak - Nordic rainbow culture workers.

The idea has been inspired by the Romanian Culture Institute in Stockholm celebrating Romanian Culture Day!
